Trump has done to Iran what needed to be done. The fact that these evil people don't want to give up is not Trumps fault. Trump could totally obliterate the whole infrastructure and the regime would still be adamant about not surrendering. The reason Trump doesn't want to do that is because there are people that people who are not on the regimes side and he's still hoping that they rise up but I guess if you have stones to throw and the other side has bullets it's almost impossible. He's still hoping that the regime will collapse through economic steps, maybe it will, maybe it won't. But, as of now, Iran can't lob any nuclear bombs at anyone and that was the MAIN goal. As it stands, "the king has no clothes".

So, the strategy is now, hope?
And newsflash, they couldn't "lob nuclear bombs" before this idiotic war. They didn't even have a bomb, much less a delivery system to "lob" one. And they weren't two weeks away from having either as well.

Two weeks, two months, two years. It really doesn't matter.

That's a stupid take.
Yeah. Clearly, a major issue in the 2024 presidential election was gas and food prices. If you think they won't be again, when they are demonstrably higher now, you're just being obtuse.

Funny, you missed the point that the 60+ % rise in this oil issue is rooted to a *single* action by a US President.
Anything to suck up to Trump runs strong with you.
Not to mention your almost *continuous* deep reliance on stupid ass "WHADABOUTS" above. Not to mention a very dubious arbitrary line at 100 / bbl. I guess above 90 and below 100 have zero effect on the overall issue. But has a great effect in 'suck up to Trump' schtick that courses through your being.
its simple -- a *single* Presidential decision to ignite a special military operation has single handedly raised the base price of the basic resource by anywhere from 35% to 50%, depending on the daily price and grade. But you cant seem to live with that.
And funny enough, you go to extraordinary lengths to obfuscate that. One might say defend that. Based off of *one* *single* Presidential decision. Lolz.
Cool **** there, Professor Smug Coffee.
And you wonder why I said you go to amazing moves and lengths to defend Trump at all costs? Lolz.

That’s why it’s so funny seeing these stupid democrats campaign on lowering costs and even funnier seeing the low IQ tards who believe them. They have no idea just how bad things would have continued to be had the cackling whore won. But if the Dems do regain power, I’ll have nothing but a point, a laugh, and a middle finger for those who vote for them once their lives become filled with so much financial suffering that they are in the streets begging. Hope they all lose their homes, their jobs, whatever. You have to be insanely stupid to vote for any Dem for anything. Personally I have no sympathy for people who vote Dem only to have their lives negatively affected. Serves them right
